She majored in photography, specializing in photojournalism.[1]

In 2012, Australia Unlimited featured Ivanova's blockbuster exhibition 'Wonderland: New Contemporary Art from Australia' at MOCATaipei.[9]

Ivanova is the reportedly first foreign curator to work with the Taiwanese aborigines, researching artists from every tribe.[10] She has become an advocate for the preservation of local indigenous heritage.[11] Her work was recognized in the inaugural Australian Arts in Asia Awards.[12]

In recognition of her cultural work in Taiwan, Ivanova received a scholarship from the Taiwanese government to undertake Chinese Language studies at the Mandarin Training Center of National Taiwan Normal University in Taipei.

In 2016, Annie Ivanova became the first cultural representative to receive the ANZ Chamber of Commerce Business Award for "outstanding contribution the Australia-Taiwan Relationship".[13]

Annie Ivanova is the author of "Taiwan by Design: 88 products for better living."[18] The project took two and a half years to complete and ran a successful crowdfunding campaign raising NT 1,500,000.[19] [20] [21]

Personal life

Annie Ivanova was born in Tryavna, Bulgaria to an artistic family. Her father was an industrial designer and her mother drama teacher. During the 1989 revolution Ivanova worked as a junior reporter, assisting Reuters photographer Oleg Popov. After witnessing the events that led to the collapse of communism in Sofia, she moved to London with the help of a colleague where she studied design at the London College of Fashion.

Ivanova immigrated to Australia in 1994 and identifies herself as an Australian of Bulgarian heritage.[22]

Following long term interests in Asian culture, since 2010 she has been living between Melbourne and Taipei. The Chinese name given to her by a friend is 易安妮 (Yì Ānnī) and was reportedly taken from the character in I-Ching "Book of Changes."[23] [24] [25]
